The property, built in 1985, is 39 years old. While it benefits from significant recent system updates in 2024 (new roof, water heater, pool equipment, interior paint, and oven), the kitchen and bathrooms show clear signs of being outdated. The kitchen features older-style painted cabinets, dated countertops, and a mix of appliances (only the oven is new). The bathrooms also present with older vanities, fixtures, and tile work, suggesting they are either original or were last renovated 15-30+ years ago. The overall aesthetic, despite fresh paint, is not modern. The property is well-maintained functionally but requires aesthetic updates, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms, to meet current quality and style standards.
Pros & Cons

Pros

High Available Lot Utilization: The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 9148, living area = 1646.
Extensive Recent Upgrades: Major components including the roof membrane, water heater, pool heater and filter, interior paint, and oven were all updated in 2024, significantly reducing immediate maintenance concerns for a buyer.
Exceptional Outdoor Living & Large Lot: The property boasts a large 9,148 sqft end lot featuring a private pool, pergola, outdoor fire pit, storage shed, citrus grove, and desert landscaping, creating a 'private desert resort oasis' with optimal indoor/outdoor living.
Energy Efficiency & Modern Layout: Equipped with solar panels for reduced utility costs and an open-concept kitchen/dining area (due to a removed wall), complemented by vaulted ceilings and a skylight for natural light.
Prime Location & Views: Situated on a desirable end lot in an excellent school district, offering mountain and peek-a-boo views with a 'creme de le creme' south-facing orientation for optimal light and views.
Enhanced Interior Features: The home includes high ceilings, a gas fireplace, a dedicated den for flexible use, and a primary suite featuring a walk-in closet and a private water closet, adding to comfort and functionality.

Cons

Property Age: Built in 1985, the home is nearly 40 years old. While major systems have been updated, other components (e.g., plumbing, electrical, windows) may be original or older, potentially requiring future investment.
Modest Interior Square Footage: At 1,646 sqft, the interior living space is relatively compact for a 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home, especially when considering the generous lot size and extensive outdoor amenities.
Unspecified Cooling System: The description highlights ceiling fans but does not explicitly mention central air conditioning, which is a critical feature for comfort in the desert climate of Cathedral City, potentially raising concerns for buyers.
